Getting HTTPConnectionPool Error When I am trying to connect with api.brokercheck.finra.org

.

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.brokercheck.finra.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /individual?hl=true&includePrevious=true&json.wrf=angular.callbacks._2&nrows=12&query=Maximillan%20SPARSHATT&r=25&sort=score+desc&state=NY&wt=json (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', error('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',)))

So I have gone through your forum and then finally realized it is not yet white listed. So can you please white list api.brokercheck.finra.org?

[edit by admin: formatting]

Could you give us a link to the API documentation?

https://www.finra.org/industry/apis https://www.finra.org/industry/equity-short-interest-reporting-api https://www.finra.org/industry/otc-threshold-list-api

My API end points starts like this: https://api.brokercheck.finra.org/

According to the documentation you linked to, the API is at api.finra.org, so I have whitelisted that.

our actual API end point is api.brokercheck.finra.org. So can you please white list this one?

We need the docs that say that it's the public API endpoint.

I have a similar issue but my account is paid for a full year. What could be the issue. Need help

Where are you trying to make that connection from?
